Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 15,1906.

Application filed December 18,1905. Serial No. 292,203.

To a whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW N. GABRIEL- SON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Mount Iron, in the county of St. Louis, State ofMinnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Planes;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to planes, and more particularly to hand-planes,and has for its object to provide a plane which may be used either as ajack-plane or a smoothing-plane and which will be provided with guidesarranged for movement into and out of position to lie against theworking face of the board to insure even planing of the edges thereof.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the followingdescription.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in whichlike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in both views, Figure1 is a side elevation of the present plane with the guides in therabbets and showing them in lowered position in dotted lines. Fig. 2 isa transverse section on line 2 2 of Fig. 1, the guides being lowered.

Referring now to the drawings, the present invention comprises a body 5and bits 6, provided with the usual bit-adjusting mech anism 7. The body5 has longitudinal rabbets 5 at its lower side angles, and communicatingwith each of these rabbets there are forward and rearward verticalthreaded passages 8, in which are adjustably engaged setscrews 9, thelower ends of the set-screws being revolubly engaged in guides 10, whichextend longitudinally of the body 5 and which i are adapted to lie inthe rabbets 5. The arrangement is such that the set-screws may beoperated to move the guides 10 into and out of the rabbets, and whenboth guides are in the rabbets the plane may be used in the ordinarymanner. When the edge of a board is to be planed, one of the guides islowered to rest against the working face of the board, and thus planingof the edge at right angles to the working face is assured.

Laterally-extending threaded passages 11 communicate with the passages 8and open through the side faces of the body, and in these passages 11there are engaged screws 12, which are operable to impinge against theset-screws 9 to hold the latter, with the guides, at different points oftheir movement. In their mutually-adjacent faces the guides haverecesses 13, which receive the edge portions of the bit 6 when theguides are in the rabbets.

What is claimed is In a plane, the combination with a body havinglongitudinal rabbets at its lower side angles and having verticalthreaded passages communicating with the rabbets, of setscrews engagedin the passages, guides connected with the lower ends of the set-screwsfor rotation of the latter with respect thereto, said set-screws beingoperable to move the guides into and out of the rabbets, and means forholding the set-screws with the guides at different points of theirmovement.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ANDREW N. GABRIELSON.
